Onrise: Habit Tracker & Focus Reviews

by At810768

You track 4 times you did a habit, it’ll show 6. My other habit I tracked twice and the number didn’t change for how many times I did it. That’s the main functionality of Onrise !

by S.H. Htc18

I’ve tested multiple habit tracking apps at this point and after a few weeks with this one, it’s no better than the rest. There’s always something lacking. This has a very simple and clean interface and a lot of potential but you can’t see anything besides the current day, so if you finished your habits late the day prior you can’t mark them off the next day and there’s no ability to actually see any of your past activities and reflect on progress.

I like the simplicity of the habit tracker although i have not found if data of progress can be exported.
Also the ‘focus’ section music does not play. Despite downloading, on off of phone and trying to find a way to contact the developer for assistance have been unsuccessful

Onrise is pleasing to look at and the sounds are nice, but i can’t edit which days i actually completed the tasks and can only check off future days of the week. I also thought the notes part was to add a description of the task but it’s only to make entries to add information about how the task went that day. Other than these two things, there isn’t anything I don’t like about Onrise .

Onrise lets you to track as many habits as you want with no subscription and no ads, which is great. It’s easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, and does what it’s meant to do. I wish I could make certain goals only visible on certain days, or if they have not been met. Looking at the entire list every time is a bit overwhelming. I also wish the goal you set for yourself was visible from the main list, without having to click on the task to compare your target number of days to your actual progress. Or, better yet, if the colored rectangle served as a progress bar so you could see at a glance which goals you were closer/further from meeting. I found some decent workarounds though, using color-coding and the “define a smallest unit” field to make it better meet my needs. Would give 4.5 stars if I could.

by Cortybort

I love how clean and simple Onrise is. No frills or distractions. The focus mode is great for reminding me to take breaks during the work day.

The one feature Onrise really needs is to be able to check something as complete throughout the day if your goal is to do X activity multiple times a day.

by čajsazarom

I love Onrise. I’ve been looking for a good habit tracker for a long time, but they always seem so cluttered with so many features and ads. this app is, thankfully, not like that. However, and this is a small thing, I wish the streak number was consistent. Sometimes, it shows your longest streak whereas, other times, it shows your current streak. It gets kind of confusing, so maybe they should just choose one? Or they could have both of them next to each other?

by Lacroixenjoyer

I really like the simple design of this habit tracking app. One thing I would like to see improved is the method of tracking habits that occur multiple times per day.

Currently, there seems to be only one mark to check off for a habit that occurs more than once per day (e.g. brushing teeth). It would be better if there were a mark to check off for each occurrence rather than one mark for the set of occurrences that day.

by Adhohvdryhbjiyfghiydryugder

I’ve been really liking Onrise for the time that i’ve been using it but the Focus timer doesn’t seem to be working properly. It never rings when the time runs out, it just goes to the break section. I don’t know why this is happening and I hope they can fix this soon but other than that, Onrise is really good.

by Carter L 09

So far i have found no problems! The reason i put 4 stars is because i think they could add some features. 1. I think there should be a feature where you can share your habits and journal with people. in my case i am working with a group of friends to have a better life style but there is no way to share everyone's habits among all of us. 2. I don't know if this is in their control but making a lock screen widget would be amazing so i can just open my phone and see my habit. Other than both of those additions Onrise is 5/5 stars

by INeedAWidget

I’m impressed with the great features Onrise is offering to track habits. I wish there was a way to record habits back beyond a week. For example, there isn’t a way to track a habit I started last month. Most of all, please add iOS 14 screen widgets! This would make Onrise perfect. Keep up the awesome work!

by Celtic Mystic

I love the simplicity of Onrise. No cutesy cartoons, no advice I didn’t ask for, no gratuitous cheerleading, no reminders I don’t want. Just my list of completely customizable habits I want to track. Two things lost a star though: some habit settings don’t seem to be editable. If I want to make a change I have to delete the habit and start again. Second, I can’t drag and reorder my list. I may want a newer habit closer to the top, I may want my list alphabetical so I can find habits easier, but new ones always go to the bottom.

by Kisaisme

Love that you can add many habits, the timer and journal!! The widget however doesn’t work at all. Shows “no data, mo datos, keine daten”

by Julestbh

Love the design and all the features :) Just wish there was a way to see tracked habits in a monthly and yearly form! Also to track habits started more than a week ago 💕

by Southernbelle0629

I love the clean and focused look of Onrise ! My only issue as many have stated is not being able to check of habits that occur more than once a day. This is much needed!

by Biomembrane

I love Onrise, it has helped me to keep up with my vitamins and activity in a very simple way. I don’t like more complicated methods—you end up focusing on recording what you’re doing, instead of just doing it!! This is perfect for my needs.

In an absolute dream world, you’d be able to change the units of time, so that instead of all habits being checked off once per day, you could check instead make a habit five times times per day. You can set it this way, but the graphics and streak calculator don’t really reflect it in a straightforward manner. Even without this feature, this is still the best app out there for what it does. Much thanks to the developer!

by LlovingLlama

I was tired of having endless ads for subscriptions to habit apps but then Onrise showed up and I love it!!!!! I love the endless amounts of habits you can make. The focus feature is great and I love the pomodoro method. The only thing I would add for Onrise is more color options for the habits but other than that I love Onrise !!!

by AhThatsRight

I have tried just about all of the habit tracker apps out there and with this I have finally found the perfect blend of usefulness and simple, minimalist design. Very thoughtful and elegant user interface. I wish the developer of Onrise charged a small fee because I would like to support the ongoing development of Onrise . Very rare to find a free app that dominates all the paid apps out there.

by Awoehl

So thankful I kept looking for habit trackers. The ones with all the big download numbers are “doing too much” and therefore created a big obstacle for getting started.

I LOVE this app. Immediately when you log in there’s not even a prompt for setting up a profile or anything. It just gets right to the point and guides you to start a new habit right then and there.

So simple, so clean, so pretty, and SO INTUITIVE! Thank you!

by Asher Jane

Thank you!! For not being those other apps where you have to pay $20 for more than 5 habits. It’s easy and intuitive. I especially love the layout of the notes, how they can be accessed from both the habit itself and the journal tab. My only suggestion would be more color options, but I really can’t complain. Onrise is pretty much perfect.

by RaxxAllHype

Onrise is so simple and sleek, 100% my vibe, but I can only use it efficiently while it’s open. I would love to see my timers for focus and breaks on the Lock Screen or my watch and a few more customization options. Overall, Onrise has been a game changer for me because it makes tracking habits very simple, but the way Onrise looks takes all distractions away while using it.

by Dmarco96

Been wanting to make something like this myself but already have too many projects started…

App is great, 5 stars for the current features. 1 feature request I have is the ability to not set a reminder for a habit. There are some habits that dont have an exact time and I don’t want to be reminded about, I just want to check it off at the end of the day that I completed it

by Keith T74

It’s been working great!! One feature I would love to see in future updates is the ability to have it keep reminding me on a set interval until I mark off the med for today. Sometimes I just too busy to take it right there and forget until later. Thank you for a great app.

by Softestflame

I love Onrise, the design, the added features etc. if you’re looking for a habit tracker, get this one. I’ve tried many and all the others lack simplicity (in the best way) that this one has, something which is essential for building habits. My only request is to be able to go back to past days to check off the habit bc I sometimes finish my days past midnight and can’t track for those days thus ruining my streak/consistency

by Katsuk1

this app is super good at helping you stay on track. I love that its so well crafted AND for free. Im literally an unemployed highschool student and Onrise is really helping me to stay on track with the trillion different things i have to juggle between sports, highschool, and college. It even has like a journal for people that want to journal but sometimes i just want to type it out instead of spending a whole thirty minutes writing it by hand. Also theres like a million different ways you can modify the habits you create so it works best for you. There is also a pomodoro timer to help you stay on task so thats also super cool. Well done guys

by Bsidjidwikwlfksiw

I have been struggling to find a habit tracking app for a year now. As someone who struggles with making subscription payments, and honestly just commitments of any sort, Onrise is super minimal and free; there are no ads there are no hidden subscriptions or no in app, purchases that are needed to be made to access all of the features. You get unlimited habit tracking as well as an awesome focus and break timer. I’m really sad that Onrise hasn’t been talked about more on social media considering all of its great features.

by Shaun VI

Onrise is literally FREE there are no extra subscriptions, fees, or anything that comes up after you use it. The look of Onrise is top tier with the minimalistic design it is really great and it has a streak counter for your habits, you can tell that the people who made Onrise were making it for the users and not just trying to get money off of it.

by Rar66

I have downloaded so many habit tracking apps. Most of them have a subscription which unlock all the features you’d want to use. I HATE that.

Onrise is FREE, has all the features straightaway and works great. It looks great, it works perfectly and I have seen progress by using it.

That being said, Onrise is worth a fee. A one time fee to get Onrise . The developers crafted an efficient, useful, beautiful, no nonsense app and should be paid for their work. Onrise is a hidden gem.

by XXGuineaPigGamerXx

I genuinely love Onrise so much. All of the features are free, i dont have to pay a single dime for Onrise. It is easy to use and the interface is great. I do have a suggestion however.

My suggestion is to make it so you can customize the pomodoro timer better, instead of only having 5,15,25, and 60 minute timers, you can customize them completely by typing in how many minutes you want to work for. That's all :3

Sincerely, Maddy <3

Onrise is way better than the habit app and it’s actually free! I don’t mind freemium apps but it can be annoying when they are pushing you to sign up all the time! But Onrise completely avoids that! The only flaw is that you have to set a reminder for a habit. Though that can be fixed by turning off notifications for Onrise or muting the habit. It also comes with a pomodoro timer, which I don’t use, but is nice. Honestly the nicest version of the timer I have seen.

This is a wonderful app and would recommend if you want something simple to track how well you are doing what you should!

by Mandbakebla

In short: it does what I want and helps me feel good about achieving those small or big habits in a simple way so I don’t get full of myself.

In long: I feel like it’s up to date with functionality. It has a little feature of its own which has helped me stay on track with my goals even on the hard days and I can organize them how I want. I can also select if I want to track my “streak” or simply “number count” of how many times I’ve done it, for example there are some habits where I only need/want to do them 3 times a week, so the number count helps. Adding the quick overview of the week, I can see how I’m doing on those goals/habits. Overall a simple and easy and functional app that doesn’t give you too much-it gives the right amount on the right focus

by Hungary4everBoró

I immediately fell in love with the simple but beautiful UI that isn’t overcrowded and feels elegant. I’m so thankful Onrise is free! Amazing functionality and very adaptable, I love the timer as well. One wish of mine would be if we could get a report for progress over multiple months - but I’m extremely satisfied with Onrise as is. Thank you!

by Amirhosein_omran

I loved how simple Onrise is and it’s pretty useful at the same time
Actually I’ve been struggling a lot recently cause I have adhd and things sometimes get super hard for me in case of managing my time and try to be productive
In my country I can’t use credit cards and almost every habit tracker on Onrise Store requires a premium account after a while but Onrise is completely free and I’m so thankful for the services Onrise give me
I wanted to help them translate their app to my mother tongue but it didn’t work well through the settings so my only advice for designers is that they solve this problem so that their customer can help them with translating.
One of my friends invited me using Onrise and it was a bless for me

by FrolickingSloth

Onrise does exactly what it says it does but with an elegance. The UI is truly clean and the UX and very pleasing. It’s purely free, no paywall, no ads and makes tracking habits very easy. While I love it, I am searching for an habit tracking app with a more intuitive widget experience. While the widget Onrise offers is clean you can only track one habit from it. If the dev can provide a more up front view of all of your habits on the widget, this would be my daily used app!

by ChaBoiDrO

Was debating making my own app for this but thankfully I found this gem instead. Great experience so far and highly appreciate that it’s not behind a paywall.
Would love if there is a way to specify a percentage increase to habits that have a measurement assigned to them (e.g. doing 1% extra every day/week/month).
Thank you again for Onrise !

by Ankur1982

Habit tracking apps can be all over the place with how to use them (good, since different people like different approaches).

I like Onrise because it’s simple and straightforward to check things off. I keep tracking of taking my daily allergy pill, meditating, working out, etc.

by Catsrule_823126

I love Onrise it is wonderful and you don’t have to pay BUT I SPECIFICALLY have a problem and if someone knows how to fix it I would be very appreciative I opened Onrise today and it has a notification to add widgets to my screen and I can’t x out the ad I don’t know what to do and I can’t use Onrise now

by RogueCleric

Simple. Good design. Not bogged down with crazy detail levels and such.

My only complaint is there seems to be a bug where once you set a reminder you cannot clear the reminder. You can’t go back to null reminders, no reminder for the habit.

by Hewittaj

I have been scouring for an app like this for a long time. Something clean and minimalist but with the all the features I am looking for. Such as the integrated Pomodoro functionality. Nothing else quite like this for me!

by HereICome2023Goals

Onrise has been really amazing so far. The UX is intuitive and the UI is pleasant. All in all, delightful.

If I could request a feature, it would be for a widget that lists all the habits we’ve made. Currently, it only has one in rotation but I’d like to see everything to assess how I’ve been doing.

Amazing work!

by Niorooe

Like the others said in the comments, Onrise is seriously underrated. It gives you the essentials of habit checking for no cost. It’s worth a shot.

by Dextersnickname

Love Onrise. It’s easy to set up and use, tracks multiple habits, logs history, sends reminders (which can be muted). After trying dozens of other habit trackers, I’m keeping this one.

by Un IOS Jugador

Beautiful free app, that I’ve literally had for 5 minutes and I’m already excited to use daily. Easy to use, intuitive UI, smart and robust functionality. Great job!

by Daltoon92

This is the one. The best habit tracker I’ve found so far that hits all of my needs.

No goofy ad-supported dumbed down free version, an excellent and clean UI, simple operation (I really just want a place to easily log and see my daily check marks for each habit!), great widget too!

I don’t even use the timers or journal functions and I love Onrise.

I’ve tried 5-6 different trackers and this app is far and away the winner.

by Ehsania

I love everything about Onrise . The design is great. Finally I've found something that push me to done some jobs.

If Onrise add widget, it would be complete.

Thank you.

by Sharupen

Onrise has been the best habit tracker ive had so far

by M. Marshall Jr.

Oh my goodness Onrise is beautiful and It’s a pomodoro timer with a habit tracker?! Genius. Download now. Great job dev.

by Idix777

I love the functionality and that it’s seamless.

by GiannaUnicorn

by 13xxyu

Free, simple, minimal and easy to use, best one on ios THE BEST, idk if it’s available on android, (loop habits best for android)
